Name(s)_____________________ HOOKE’S LAW and SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION INTRODUCTION Any motion that repeats itself in equal intervals of time is called periodic motion. A special form of periodic motion is called Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). Simple Harmonic Motion is defined as oscillatory motion in which the resultant force on the oscillating body at any instant is directly proportional to its displacement from the rest position and opposite in direction to its motion. For a spring system‚ this can be written

Macarilay Department of Math and Physics College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas España Street‚ Manila Philippines Abstract Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of bodies and systems without consideration of the forces that cause the motion. There are four activities done in this experiment. Graphical analysis of human motion‚ where

top of the cup‚ the shorter the distance of the cup moved and it included all of the three Newton’s laws. My hypothesis actually turned out to be accurate. It’s really fascinating that how only 1 experiment can prove all of Newton’s three laws of motion just like that. When the marble was getting released from the ramp I observed it hitting the cup and surprisingly the cup didn’t fall off or changed directions it went in a straight path. For 1 penny we got the longest distance such as 4cm for trail

Task Statement The Connecticut Department of Education has tasked our group with analyzing the underlying issue of poverty and its effects in our educational system. We are to develop a plausible set of solutions to address the most critical issues‚ determine the one most universally effective approach‚ and develop a prudent implementation strategy. Executive Summary Poverty as a social problem can be defined as “a state in which income is insufficient to provide the basic necessities of food

of motion. Background Research How does changing the mass of an object effect how far it will travel ? This question can be answered by Newtons 2nd law of motion; Force equals mass multiplied acceleration (F= ma). This law states that a force on an object will cause it to accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the force exerted on the object‚ the greater the acceleration. But how does mass effect this ? To find out‚ an experiment will be put into place where the force will

on Change-Motion In our current times‚ we do not stop to think about or question change or motion in our material world. We now know that change and motion exist. Even if we as individuals don’t know the properties and processes that cause change or motion‚ we don’t doubt that they are possible‚ as science has proven that they are in fact plausible. However‚ information about change and motion has not always been so well defined. The unknown aspects of what caused change and motion‚ how it affected

notes Force is an agent which produces or tends to produce motion in an object‚ stops or tends to stop ‚ motion of an object Newton’s 1st law of motion: If an object is at rest‚ will remain at rest until or unless an external force act on it. If an object is in motion ‚ it continues its motion until or unless an external force act on it Newton’s 1st law of motion is also called first law of inertia. Inertia: The tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of motion or rest

The Force of Circumstance by W. Somerset Maugham Brief summary Guy‚ an administrator of a small British colonial outpost‚ has lived there for ten years. When he was on holiday in England he met Doris. They married and she returned to the station with him. At first they are very happy but then Doris notices a young Malay woman with three half-caste children hanging around the bungalow and annoying Guy very much. Finally Guy confesses that he had a relationship with the woman and that

interaction‚ there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. Interaction between the hammer and nail A hammer exerts a force on the nail and drives it into a board . But this is not the only force present for there must also be a force exerted on the hammer to stop it in the process. What exerts this force? The nail does. Newton reasoned that while the hammer exerts a force on the nail ‚ the nail

cosmos alone‚ he also applied it to society. At rest there is the appearance of equal opposite forces. If there was internal peace‚ it would mean neither the commoners nor the wealthy were able to seize enough power and so this in turn is the state of rest society is at due to equal opposing forces. Without this balance of equals‚ there is war due to unstable equilibrium and then when an equality of forces is again reached‚ there is peace. As most philosophers love to argue‚ there must be someone
